Fee Schedule
An easy-to-understand, ALL-INCLUSIVE school fee structure
We have structured our school fees as all-inclusive for simplicity and your peace of mind.
An all-inclusive fee cost is not commonly offered by local private schools but we feel it is important you know that at Peace Lutheran College you will not be billed for extra levies, school excursions, or school-delivered extra-curricular costs throughout the year. We believe you should know the complete investment of your child's education upfront.
You will NOT be billed extra for:
- Textbooks and workbooks
- Subject levies and practical materials
- School-endorsed online subscriptions
- Compulsory camps and excursions
- School excursion transport
- Swimming lessons
- Sport affiliation fees
- School Yearbook
- Arts council performances
There are some additional costs associated with your child's education that fall outside of the fee items outlined above.
- School uniforms
- Stationery pack (provided by the school at our discounted cost)
- BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) program
- QCAA fees (Year 11 and 12 students only)
- Special, voluntary activities, courses, and/or excursions
